> The manufacturing of a car is responsible for a very significant amount of the emissions it produces over its life. According to the Kurzgesagt video about climate change and how to stop it, what's even more significant is the carbon emmissions of road construction. Apparently a single meter of road is equivalent to one car. If we increase car use, we need more roads and those roads need more maintenance and all that has a big carbon budget. We simply need to move our society away from private car infrastructure. My opinion is that a well-designed urban environment built for a mix of electric trains, buses, and e-bikes, with dense housing and mixed use zoning would work really well, as shown in places like Scandinavia, Holland, etc.
